We had a great day today. As soon as we saw sunlight (after days of rain) we decided to quick get dressed and roam around. We walked thru the Hanoi Hilton. We saw some amazing things there. This is where John McCain (hopefully NOT the next president) was held.
Later, we met up with Steve and Carol in the lobby and Carol was kind enough to go with us to get tickets to the water puppet show. We had a great time. Saige LOVED the show and so did we. After the show we went with Carol and Steve to get ice cream then we took the kids to the hotel playroom. Saige and Samantha were adorable together. These two were talking and playing so nicely. We wished we knew what they were saying. We also went out to eat with Carol and Steve at a Vietnamese restaurant within walking distance of the hotel. The food was great. We learned that Saige is one spoiled little girl. Just like Julie she has her daddy wrapped right around her pinky finger. Siage has learned in a matter of days that if she acts up in the restaurant she can get daddy to take her outside for a walk around. lol. Smart kid!
I know I've said it before but we love it here. Ok, so it's not the cleanest place on earth but that's the beauty of it. (did that make ANY sense?)
It's going to be sad to leave. We know how much our daughter loves it here so it's going to be sad to take her away. Time seems to be flying. We can't believe we have been here over a week already.
I have LOTS of pics from today and I'll try to post them tomorrow. Thank you everyone for following along! We are missing our friends and family. Can't wait for everyone to meet our little girl!

you are missed and we cant wait to meet saige but I totally understand the hard feelings of leaving the country where your daughter was born and where her heritage is. buy as many books
and things from her heritage as you can stuff in your suitcase.
Even if they are in vietnamese.
Someday she might learn to speak the lanquage again. Then when you run out of room go out and buy another suitcase and fill that one!
Soak up as much as you can and have an incredible remainder of your journey. She is very blessed to have become a member of this
awesome family!
now hurry with the pictures - we all want new ones!
